Hello internet my name is Chamomile and I am on Bluesky
It's the second one. It was always stupid to try and pressgang a man elected by the state of New York and no one else and who is deeply unsuited to national leadership into leading the national anti-fascist movement.
Like, yeah, he's terrible at this job. Why do you keep trying to give it to him?

He started stockpiling arms for a coming war with Germany even as he triumphantly announced that such a thing would not happen. He knew what had to be done and that the public was too stupid to do it, and all he could do was move enough pieces into place to move quickly when they finally got a clue.

The time will come to make an example of holdouts, but right now we need to be open to defectors with both carrot (we will not trust you with power but you can be a regular member of our coalition in good standing) and stick (unless you wait too long, in which case you will be one of the examples).

There is going to come a time when we're all full and the response to anyone just now getting with the program is "too late" and we give them all of our wrath. That time is when we have enough unstoppable momentum that their defection doesn't even make a difference. We aren't there yet.

I mean, obviously if it were real they'd have to get the cost of both armies required for a game down to something in the $100-$150 range to compete with board games.

The Deep Lore gets into this in a couple of places, like how the Jedi plan at Geonosis was that a hundred Jedi igniting lightsabers would surely cow any resistance immediately. They knew it was possible to have an army in the Outer Rim but had totally failed to grapple with the implications.

The Republic controlled every major industrial center in the galaxy. The whole High/Late Republic era was built on having no rivals. Once the Trade Federation had gotten away with building anti-piracy measures so overdeveloped they could invade a planet, the Republic was already fucked.

You got at least 20 years left in you. If we play our cards right, you'll leave behind a country better than the one you were born in with enough time to spare to tell stories of the Trump regime to kids too young to have been there.

The significance of Gamergate is the existing problems it exposed. By the time it was happening, it was too late to do anything about it. The turning points were well in advance.

Before the Imperium was the Dark Age of Technology. There's not a ton of detail, but the eldar were at their height, and humanity may have been, as well. It ended when the eldar fucked Slaanesh into existence, which ruined and divided the galaxy for millennia.

Punishment is a political necessity. We must restore deterrence. Targeting enemy power centers is not generally optional if you plan to win, and people arguing otherwise are grounding themselves in cinema, not history.

Seems like the new version of hanging/burning effigies to me. New and also worse, but still, we're not in unprecedented territory with people trying to make something happen through a combination of building hype and magical thinking.

It's not even Udun or Barad-Dur or some other actual fortress Sauron built. Just, Sauron. They aren't self-identifying as the bad guy fortress. They are just self-identifying as the bad guy.

There were like two million space marines total. The real question is how they were able to expand rapidly in all directions in the first place, even if only against local or regional rivals.

But...homeless people don't have an address. Whatever they give to the hotel, they're making it up anyway. They could just make up an address from another town.

Optimistically, they look like teenage girls because the target audience is teenage boys.
But realistically, most of their income probably comes from divorced men who can afford to be whales.

You seem confused. "Never aspirationally push to make things law, only discuss laws that already exist" is the side of the argument *you* are on.

If you don't want people to discuss any principles that they have not already codified into law, how do you expect them to get codified into law?
